Here's the adhesive you are going to need to perform this fix: amzn.to/2qo3gw7

Since many other MR2 drivers are watching this: In case of the MK3 the lower universal joint of the steering column is usualy at fault. It sits unprotected down there at the steering rack, exposed to the elements. If you own a MK3 and you have excessive play or friction in your steering, it is corroded and you will need to replace it. If it hasn't gone bad, grease it to prevent corrosion and keep it going for years to come.

@@RonVanDam33 The older the truck is, the more likely it is easily fixable. The newer the truck is the harder it would be to fix it, but not impossible. If it's truly the steering column, it will be labor intensive and will likely also require a wheel alignment, but it can be done.

Secondly what is the dry-time for this adhesive when its sealed like you had it? Thanks for your time!

I applied a bit more than needed and then wiped off the excess, that way I knew the cavity was completely filled. The two parts become bonded in just a few hours, but the curing time is 24hrs and I wouldn't touch it before that, maybe even leave it for 48 to be extra safe, since this is a moving part, unlike a windshield, and this product being a windshield adhesive a steering column isn't really its intended field of application :) , but works great nevertheless.

I have an old VW MK3 Carbio and it's got at least 3cm of steering wheel play. And this is after a very recent full suspension rebuild and rack rebuild. My issue is with the steering column fully disconnected from it's U-joints and the rack. I can hold the bottom of the column where it inserts into the first U-joint and I can still easy move and rock the steering wheel back and forth (meaning left to right like you are turning). It's overly loose and wobbly. If it was just 1cm of left / right play I could live with it but 3-4cm (or 2cm each direction) is noticeable when actually driving as the play is still felt when driving down the road in a straight line.

Later, when I took a hard turn left and back on straight road, the steering wheel noticeably unalign to the right. Then when I took a hard turn right, the steering wheel become straight back to normal. What could be the problem. A bad rack or the shaft bush like you have said.
